    Re: DAC Comparison not going well

    We're you able to clock the N-01xd as well? It responds really well to clocking.

    Re: DAC Comparison not going well

    The N-01XD + clock is insanely good. I don't see how anyone wouldn't be happy with that. How were you feeding the N-01XD? Ethernet? From the P-02x? USB?

    I use optical ethernet to the...

    Re: Esoteric XD Series

    I have not played with them, I got a shunyata clock 50, several years ago and called it a day. I might try their latest.

    I'm also clocking my etherregen.

    Re: Esoteric XD Series

    Clock. I feel that a clock is damn near mandatory for an esoteric dac. It is a huge upgrade.

    Re: Esoteric XD Series

    IMHO 99% of the time, fatigue is caused by the room, not the gear. Although the gear can certainly make it worse. Look at the first reflection points on all your walls and ceiling, try putting...

    Re: Lumin 14.4

    I just did this for my esoteric n01xd. I assume it is the same features/improvements as the lumin one, just a few months behind?

  10. Re: Wadax Reference Dac and Reference Server arrive

    I'm not Mike, but you quoted me. Yes, you are correct in what we compared. Yes, Mike will be doing a deeper dive into what each component brings to the table. We'll have to wait a little to see...
  11. Re: Wadax Reference Dac and Reference Server arrive

    I was one of Mike's guests. I was really impressed with the wadax. When I saw it in pictures, it seemed ugly to me. In person, it oozed class and craftsmanship. Quite a striking statement piece....

    Re: Roon 1.8 - a sonic success!

    I didn't notice much of a sonic change, but I used to have a lot of hanging (spinning death star). This release fixed all my problems with that!

    There are a lot of different views on the topic, but I firmly believe that a good preamp is a requirement in a high end system. There are a few exceptions... I've heard msb dacs connected to the...

    Re: Esoteric N-01XD

    Whatever the latest one that puts out 10mhz and has a separate power supply. I think it's the op21a? I think it is only available from the factory. Mike is using it with his esoteric gear.

    Re: Esoteric N-01XD

    Surprised to hear that. My g02x made a big difference. I hear that cybershaft is the best way to get even greater performance.

    One thing that helped me immensely was room treatments. For a...

  18. Re: Is my hearing getting better as I get older

    Yes, I've had many Wilson's, and I've changed the resistors a few times. But I've never changed the values from stock. I might try that.

  19. Re: Is my hearing getting better as I get older

    Hmmm I have Wilson alexx. I never thought about trying this. Maybe when I'm due for a resistor change I will ask about it!

    Re: Windows 11

    Wow, this is shocking, I have a very very fast core i7 processor with tons of ram and SSD etc, and it's not supported! Did not expect that.
  21. Re: Is my hearing getting better as I get older

    I used to listen louder, too. I think that it's easy to impress someone (including yourself) that knows nothing about hi-end audio by playing it really really loud. Eventually you learn that's not...

    Re: Where does it end?

    I've been to your house, and I can say that there's not a whole lot you can do to improve your system. It's over the top good!

    Um no. Not all amps are the same. Some are clearly "better". Your point is taken (there is no absolute reference) , but you really need to let it go. The video is not a scientific experiment. ...
